Chapter 1045 The Soil of Lies and the Flowers of Truth
Before the three of them set off for this valley, Qiu Ming had warned Zhang Heng and Electronic Sheep more than once, saying that they should not continue to pursue them and stop before it was too late.
Therefore, before the electronic sheep came in, they had already imagined many horrific scenes inside.
For example, a heavily armed team ambushed behind the gate waiting to take them down, or Tang Dynasty Morgan hired a group of scientists to secretly conduct some bloody human experiments, or even locked up a group of alien creatures in the base without telling the public.
But no matter what kind of conjecture he had seen, it was more crazy and dark than what he saw with his own eyes. It was clear that what Electronic Sheep had seen along the way was just the most common company structure, each of which was an extremely ordinary department. But when all of this was put together , the final truth was gradually revealed, and the electronic sheep felt dizzy.
He looked at the people who got off the truck. Each of their bodies looked healthy, but in those places that his eyes could not reach, their souls had long been riddled with patches. .
The electronic sheep can't even see their faces clearly, because each of them seems to have the same face, and what scares the electronic sheep the most is that he knows that he has been one of them.
Once he realizes this, it is difficult for the electronic sheep not to think about a question. If all his current memories are programmed, what should he be like originally?
The electronic sheep tried his best to remember, thinking that his head would explode, but he still couldn't remember anything. What's even more sad is that the electronic sheep found that even if he recalled any words, he couldn't be sure that it was the real him. Or is it a distorted mark left after a certain memory encoding.
He doesn't know where he came from or where he is going. His past has been covered by countless upgrade patches, and he doesn't know what kind of lies he will live in in the future.
Electronic Sheep doesn't even know whether his feelings for Xu Qian are true or false. The latter is the woman he once loved so hard, but if even he himself is false, how can the feelings based on this be worth mentioning? What about credibility?
The electronic sheep just stood in the center of the station square in despair.
When Qiu Ming finished his previous words, he was also silently observing the electronic sheep and Zhang Heng. Among them, the reaction of the electronic sheep was within his expectations. From the fear that Qiu Ming could see in the eyes of the electronic sheep, A mixture of pain, confusion and disbelief.
This is not difficult to understand, because Electronic Sheep's worldview completely collapsed at this moment. Qiu Ming knew that Electronic Sheep's heart must be full of questions now, but he didn't know who could answer him.
This is also a normal reaction for most people.
But Zhang Heng was a little confused by Qiu Ming. Although there was a look of surprise on Zhang Heng's face, this kind of accident was like seeing a traffic accident while driving on the road, no matter how tragic the scene was. , it actually doesn’t have much impact on other car owners passing by.
This makes Qiu Ming feel a little incredible. No one can be as indifferent as Zhang Heng after realizing that he has been living a lie and has even lost himself.
If possible, Qiu Ming really hopes to open Zhang Heng's head now and read the latter's memory to see what he is thinking.
"Xu Qian is right in front."
After waiting for a while, Qiu Ming spoke again, "Just walk through the station and it's not far away, but I don't know if you want to continue looking for her."
Qiu Ming's words also made the electronic sheep even more confused. In addition to the fact that he could not judge whether his feelings for Xu Qian were pre-coded, it was also because if Xu Qian's identity was also fabricated, then his purpose of rescuing Xu Qian was Let Xu Qian continue to play a person who is not herself?
But Electronic Sheep didn't expect that Zhang Heng didn't hesitate at all, "Take me to see her."
This time it was Qiu Ming's turn to be surprised, "Even after knowing everything, are you still ready to take Xu Qian away?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "I don't care what the world is like. An agreement is an agreement. I made an agreement with her to help her investigate her affairs. Now I understand almost everything. It's time for me to report to her. As for her future Whether she wants to leave with us or not is her own choice.”
"Admirable professional attitude," Qiu Ming said, then he looked at the electronic sheep again, "What about you?"
The electronic sheep seemed much more confused. He thought for a full minute, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Reason tells me that I should turn around and leave this hellish place, but I don't know which bastard wrote my memory, so I have never been rational about Xu Qian's affairs, so I still want to see her."
Qiu Ming praised you, "I looked down on you a little before, but I still managed to persevere after realizing that my personality and memories may have been encoded."
"Licking a dog is nb." The electronic sheep said mockingly.
"Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. The memory encoding work we performed was all completed before you entered New Shanghai 0297. Except for a small number of residents who act as clones, the memories of most people will not be adjusted again. Xu Qian came to New Shanghai 0297 after you, so all your memories and feelings about her were not scripted... You may have really fallen in love with her." Qiu Mingdao.
"You mean, my becoming a licker is a spontaneous act on my part?" Electronic Sheep looked complicated, "So is this good news or bad news?"
"This shows that even from the soil of lies, true flowers can bloom." Qiu Mingdao.
"But I still don't understand. Since Xu Qian is not a clone, why did you take her away?" Electronic Sheep asked.
"You can think of this as an internal job transfer within the company. We are supervising everyone's performance. For those whose performance continues to decline, the company will consider changing their positions. Of course, since Xu Qian is a public figure, it is difficult to deal with it. It will be more troublesome, and this is what I have been doing. In order to facilitate management, generally for some special positions, we will set a goal in advance when memory encoding the employee.
"This goal will be the employee's greatest desire deep in his heart. In order to achieve this goal, the employee can accept sacrifices such as giving up his career and moving away from his original place of residence. What I am good at dealing with is women who have love and marriage goals. In addition to employees, there are also colleagues who are good at other types. After minimizing the impact, we will send them to other cities that are not connected without telling the public."
